Filter by:Sleep-wake disturbances were found to be a common problem among patients with CHD either earlier during hospitalization or/ and after discharge Although there is an evidence that sleep-wake disturbanes occur in high rate among patients with CHD little was found about assessment and management of this problem. This randomized controlled study will assess sleep quality of stable CHD patients who were admitted for undergoing coronary angiography electively. Then it will test the hypothesis that atlas cedar wood essential oil aromatherapy have a positive effect on sleep quality of CHD patients.
The Val-CARD trial aims to answer the question: "Does the drug sodium valproate reduce complications affecting the heart and kidneys in patients having heart operations?" Sodium valproate is a drug commonly used in the treatment of epilepsy. Recently it has been shown to protect against heart and kidney damage in laboratory tests. This has led to trials evaluating whether it can prevent heart and kidney damage in patients. The investigators wish to evaluate whether treatment with sodium valproate for a short period can reduce levels of organ damage following heart surgery by measuring this in blood tests, exercise tests, a special x-ray measuring body fat content, a walk exercise and muscle strength tests. The investigators now want to establish if sodium valproate works by making the heart and kidney more resistant to any injury that results from the use of the heart lung machine.
Evaluate MyoStrain cardiac MRI pulse sequence in Clinical practice
Registry of patients undergoing invasive fractional flow reserve measurement using a motorized device.
In this controlled trial, patients referred to post-myocardial infarction cardiac rehabilitation will be randomized to either interval or continuous training.
This study is designed to investigate whether scoring balloon (non-slip element, NSE) predilation compared to non-compliant (NC) balloon predilation for de novo lesion in patients with high bleeding risk and planning to receive drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment will lead to lower change in minimal lumen area (MLA) at 6 months by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).
The XIENCE 28 USA Study is prospective, single arm, multi-center, open label, non-randomized trial to evaluate safety of 1-month (as short as 28 days) dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in subjects at high risk of bleeding (HBR) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with the approved XIENCE family (XIENCE Xpedition Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System [EECSS], XIENCE Alpine EECSS and XIENCE Sierra EECSS) of coronary drug-eluting stents.
The goal of the ACCURACY study is to assess the differences, if any, in FFR measurements made by the OptoWire Deux FFR guidewire by comparison of simultaneous data of two different OptoWire DeuxTM guidewires (group 1). In addition, the investigators will compare (group 2) the FFR measurements obtained from an OptoWire Deux FFR guidewire and compare it to the FFR measurement by a VERRATA-TM guidewire to assess coronary stenosis in the routine clinical practice.
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause for morbidity and mortality in general population. The incidence of cardiovascular disease and their poor outcome is well documented in a broad spectrum of connective tissue diseases, especially in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The risk of incident CVD is increased by 48% in patients with RA compared to the general population. RA is associated with 50% increase in the mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). One reason is the more frequent cardiovascular risk factors in RA patients compared with the general population. Patients with RA have a high risk of premature cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of the present study is to assess whether there are non-invasive measures that might predict arteriosclerosis in RA patients.
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is a procedure where surgeons use blood vessels from elsewhere in the body to go around blockages or narrowings in the heart arteries. Before the surgery, the surgeon needs to choose which vessel will be used for the bypass, including potentially the radial artery in the wrist. Smartphones have been shown in a previous study to be a better way to assess the arteries in the hand than the traditional physical examination, as it is less subjective than simply watching the flushing of the hand. In this study, the investigators will assess the utility of a smartphone application in determining whether there is enough blood flow in the hand prior to using the radial artery for CABG surgery.
